Quadruple Headed Steam Train - Narrow Gauge Steam Galore!
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.2 месяца назад
At the end of MOTAT's Rail Live Day in November of 2024, the team decided to put together all their operating steam locomotives onto one long mixed train, with a Dsa shunter on the other end to pull the train down the hill. This made for an excellent scene to watch the steam locos Bertha, L507, F180, and Y542 climbing the grade up to Waititiko Station. Enjoy!

The line has since officially reopened, and freight traffic is set to resume later this year. We followed...
Low 'N Slow Descending Union Pacific's Cima Grade - Featuring a Tank Train!
Просмотров 2083 месяца назад
In this video, we ventured out into the heart of the Mojave Desert to film Union Pacific trains in the blistering dry summer heat. Unexpectedly, we found a train carrying 14 wagons each loaded with up to 2 tanks - you heard that right - tanks! Pretty out of the ordinary for a Kiwi foamer to see! We also followed a long and heavy UP coal train all the way down the grade, with a friendly driver a...

Winter on KiwiRail's Main North Line

In July of 2024, we chased KiwiRail's freight train no. 736 all the way from Christchurch to Picton, along the Main North Line. This line serves as the main rail link between Christchurch in the South Island, and Wellington in the North Island. Watch as DXB, DXR, and DXC locomotives work hard through tough terrain and stunning scenery. Enjoy!

    The greater part of the NIMT is electrified yet it is now operated almost entirely by diesel locomotives. Surely KR should now order from a European manufacturer dual voltage 25kV Ac /1500V DC electric locomotives? In Europe there are different electrification systems so the industry produces reliable dual-voltage locos. And fill the unelectrified gaps Pukekohe - Te Rapa and Palmerston North - Waikanae with 25kV wiring. The distances aren't great. France manages with both 1500V DC and 25kV systems, so can North Island of NZ. You don't see diesel locomotives hauling long freights 'under the wires' in Europe as they seem to do in NZ (except in Britain where this does happen too much!).

      @TheKiwianTrainspotting 4 месяца назад

      Unfortunately - yes, that may be the case. With freight volumes shrinking year after year, the demand for a large locomotive fleet is decreasing, and may just leave the DM's and DL's in service, plus a few DC's for heavy shunting. Get out and see the DX's while you can! The DM's finish arriving in 2026.
